The artwork

A figure with brown skin and blue sleeves holds a brass trumpet aloft, launching a large blueberry skyward; smaller blueberries orbit on curved blue lines around the composition. The scene occupies the full front against a dark navy ground, rendered in airbrushed tones of blue, purple, gold, and brown with fine linear detail. The beer name "BLUE NOTE" dominates in large blue sans-serif capitals, with "BLUEBERRY HEFEWEIZEN" set below in gold sans-serif letters. The brewery name and regulatory type are confined to the left edge and right panel.

From the label

Label explicitly states 'BLUEBERRY HEFEWEIZEN' and 'BLUEBERRY WEISS ALE'. The beer is a hefeweizen/weiss ale with blueberry added as a defining fruit ingredient. Per taxonomy rules, fruit added to a non-sour, non-IPA beer → fruit_beer. The TTB class 906 (flavored malt beverage specialty) is consistent with a fruit-adjunct wheat beer. Category confidence is modestly reduced due to FMB class code, but the label clearly presents as a beer product with hefeweizen identity.
